They are hard, vicious, tack-lers, tack-lers, and he uncovered material that can carry, pass or boot the ball not a little amount of credit is due both teams out' fighting and playing with no protection whatever. It is this kind of spirit that Is glorious contrast to the heavily .padded, highly tooted players. When 22 youngsters In shirts and overalls play like these did. it .Is spirit, love for the game, and he-man sportsmanship. The playing of Truman Tru-man Mitchell, and Elmer White was stellar for the seventh and eighth grades. Sexton's passing was beautiful. beauti-ful. Bates", Luckton nnd Tomllson played the best ball for the ninth and tenth grades. . The good old plodding Interference that gains so little In the way of write up was great for both teams. It is their constant fight that gives the more spectacular players the breaks. The third quarter found the seventh and eighth again opening up a dazzling daz-zling aerial attack, and as the whistle Mew, they were going strong for . a second touchdown. The lie will be played off, and a lot of fun is looked for. Both teams will be out to make n killing, and a grudge fight Is always good. i places, on the up-llfts, In the protected protect-ed siot.s, off the valley floors. In the low places, where cold air slowly trav-eles trav-eles like water down to Ouray, (the coldest place in winter and the warmest warm-est place In summer,) fruit does not do well. However, we have ample proof that fruit of all kinds may be produced If fair Judgment Is exercised In se-etlug se-etlug the land. We need wood lots, black locusts or any trees that provide wood, shade, Improvement and cash. Now, fellow citizens, why have we not done better? One reason Is that we have no storage for wheat and other products. Even when wheat. Is on CO per cent enough for the years demands the farmer cannot get cash In the fall when he must have money. Tills one crop-condition effects all crops. Enthusiasm, En-thusiasm, "pep," intelligent determination, determina-tion, is shared, or It Is cut down. There Is only one way to make up for these deficiencies, or at least there Is one way to do It, viz: Ix't every precinct have a meeting, just like a political primary, and every ev-ery precinct organize a mutual benefit bene-fit society, or call It what you may. But do not expect to have financial cooperation very much, because it is a mighty hard task. But It Is practical practi-cal to exchange Ideas on a multitude of problems effecting our mutual welfare3, wel-fare3, and to huve a practical man on strawberry culture tell how to raise strawberries. Community meetings with practical leadership will do won. tiers to make us strong-where we are now weak. Last week Congressman Colton made an effort to get help for farmers lit the basin. Naturally he asked for storage assistance. The government will help us, but we must show some signs of helping ourselves more In-lellgeutly. In-lellgeutly. If each precinct will organize or-ganize a practical benefit club, and then If these will send delegates to a county meeting, and then have the two counties work together considerably, we may properly provide elevators for our grain at the leading points, and thereby . obtain cash when we harvest. In that way we may use twice the wheat we now grow, because the sup-uly sup-uly will be reliable, and the beef, etc, I may be finished ready for market. The fifty cars of corn now shipped in may be produced here, and that saving Is worth serious consideration. |
